WOBURN, Mass. (AP) — The brother of Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan is due in a Massachusetts court for a final hearing before his manslaughter trial in the death of his 70-year-old father.
Mark Kerrigan is expected to appear in Woburn Superior Court on Monday. His trial is scheduled to begin May 13.
Prosecutors say Daniel Kerrigan died in January 2010 following a fight with his son at the family’s Stoneham home.
The Kerrigan family insists Daniel Kerrigan died of a longstanding heart condition and that Mark Kerrigan is not responsible for his death.
Police have testified that Mark Kerrigan told them he “grabbed his father by the throat” before the elder Kerrigan collapsed.
